Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal represents an inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development upon the openness of the green belt
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of improved living conditions and small-scale economic benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB10Policy GB1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 148
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
